The Priceless Work

In a world of aspirations and dreams,

Where success often gleams,

There's a whispered truth that beams,

"If you're not willing to work for free, don't bother," it seems.

For the path to greatness is paved,

By those who embrace the challenges braved,

Those who don't shy away, but wade,

Through the tides of dedication, unswayed.

In the pursuit of passions and goals,

The heart's fire, the soul's true roles,

It takes more than desire that consoles,

It takes a willingness to pay the tolls.

For to build a foundation strong,

To prove to the world you belong,

You must be willing to sing the song,

Of perseverance and resilience, lifelong.

But it's not about monetary gain,

Not just about riches you attain,

It's about the love and passion that sustain,

A burning desire, like an eternal flame.

To work for free, it may seem absurd,

A notion that challenges what we've heard,

But within its essence, a lesson is interred,

That true dedication cannot be deterred.

For in those moments when you freely give,

When you labor not just to receive,

You unlock a power that helps you achieve,

The heights of success, where dreams conceive.

So, if you're not willing to invest,

To put in the hours and give your best,

To work for free and pass the test,

Then perhaps, it's time to reassess.

For the greatest rewards often lie,

In the efforts we give, without asking why,

In the selflessness that helps us fly,

Towards a future that money can't buy.

So, embrace the challenge, let it ignite,

The fire within, burning bright,

And let your passion take flight,

For in that journey, you'll find your light.

So, if you're not willing to work for free,

To invest your time with unrestrained glee,

Then perhaps, it's not meant to be,

But if you are, the world awaits, you'll see.
